Lunches and Snacks
Kindergarten students using Childcare may purchase a lunch through the school lunch program. More information about this program is sent home through the school office. They may also bring their own lunch and snacks as there are no snacks provided in childcare.
Medication
We are not allowed to administer or dispense medications (even over the counter ones) unless the following regulations have been met:
1. Written authorization from a physician that includes student’s name, medication name, dosage and frequency of dose.
2. All medications must be kept in the original container labeled with the student’s name, medication name, dosage and frequency.
3. All medications and authorizations must be renewed each school year.
Children exhibiting signs of illness such as an extremely runny nose, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, etc., will require a parent/authorized person to pick up the child as soon as possible.
Behavior
Students are expected to demonstrate the same high level of respect and cooperation that is expected during the school day. Behavior deemed unsafe, disrespectful or irresponsible by the childcare staff may result in your child being sent home and not allowed to return.
Communication
Please feel free to discuss any problems your child may have with our staff. It is helpful for us to know if something is happening in your child’s life.
Parent Involvement
Please feel free to visit and observe the childcare center at any time. Your input is always appreciated.
